I’ve always loved to read all kind of short stories. Better if they were written by a good friend of mine, who I happen to love a lot!Let me talk a little bit about Jorge. He is the editor of the El Veraz, a weekly online newspage. I met him some years ago in the same chat room I met most of the “boricuas” who are my friends today. He’s not a Puerto Rican, but a Cuban living in the charming island of Puerto Rico. I particularly love my friendship with him because far from our characters in the chat, we have built a bond which is unknown to many people. We are good friends, and believe me, most of the chatters would show their open-moused surprise if they knew about it. Why? Well, it’s hard to explain if you are not part of that chat room…. Let’s say that his character there awakens all kind of feelings if you don’t know him beyond his nickname and what he writes in the room. I dared to meet him and now I’m proud of being his friend.Here are two of his stories. I was considering the idea of translating them, but honestly I think I would take their nature away by doing so. I hope at least some of you can read them because they are great pieces of art.Click on the images to read these two stories, my favorite ones.

What a beautiful blog you have, my dear Analia.I’m sorry I couldn’t visit sooner.Thank you for your kind message on my blog, although it’s on books and writers and may not interest you.But next year, I hope to publish something and if its anything romantic, I’ll definitely send it on to you.Have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year.

Ani, I have an IMMENSE amount of reading (and writing) to catch up on, when the free time appears. So I pormise I’ll be back to read the stories. I only had time to look at the pictures, which I LIKED!

Anyway, it’s Krissssssmas again! A bit sad here this year, as the state of the economy has put out a lot of the lights. But I have senty you what they used to look like in Lisboa.
